    "content": "I would like to particularly thank the individual sportsmen who put in commitment and also appreciate the others as a group that managed to get us up to where they got us. But the question we ask ourselves is that with such great success, what do we do with it? With such creative and very intelligent people of our country, what do we do with them? We have celebrities and instruments that will facilitate promotion of those talents and inspiration of the young generation so that they can cut an edge out of this and make our country even greater than it is. I have in mind athletes like Tegla Lorupe. What she is doing is wonderful, but no one recognises it. I have also in mind great sportsman like Joe Kadenge and Patrick Shirazi. Those people have done us a lot of pride, but we have forgotten them. It is high time this House opened an inquiry into the activities in Rio de Janeiro because it is on record that our sportsmen suffered. It is very demotivating and immoral for anyone to do the things we heard were done. Our rugby sevens team was poised to win. However, because of the treatment they got, they did not win. We should also thank them and congratulate them for the effort they made. We need to open an inquiry to find out what really happened and who is responsible for it. This people should be brought to account. We have a great nation. The diversity we have in this country is an opportunity for us to celebrate and even make greater achievements. We have seen that one constituency is able to produce several gold medals. We need to seize the opportunity and spread it out. Last weekend, I had the opportunity to participate in the Tharaka Nithi Cultural Festival. We saw a lot of talent out there. It is high time we created an opportunity for cultural exchange. Cultural exchange across the country will make Kenyans appreciate each other and succeed at international level. Surprisingly, the Ministry of Sports, Culture and the Arts was not there. It is the Ministry of Tourism that was around. We need to find out what is happening in this Ministry. I have had an opportunity to work there before. There are very hardworking officers out there. The management needs to be investigated from the top. We need to find out who is pushing those corrupt practices and who must be responsible for them. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) must be asked to go home. The President appointed this gentleman with a lot of hope. It is high time that the tyranny of numbers that we enjoy in this House impeached this gentleman because of the behaviour in Rio. I recommend impeachment of the CS."
